Use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash
the interior and all internal accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to
remove the typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
Operation
Insert the plug into the wall socket. Open the
refrigerator door and turn the thermostat knob,
clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.
The appliance will start to operate.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
towards higher settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
room temperature;
how often the door is opened;
the quantity of food stored;
location of appliance.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to
position «O».
Refrigerating food
The coldest area of the refrigerator is the part
immediately below the evaporator.
Meat and fish should therefore be stored (wrapped in
aluminium foil or cling film) on the top shelf.
Cooked food (cover well to avoid it drying out) can
be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables should be placed in the
drawer provided.
Butter and eggs and also bottles should be placed in
the door compartments.
For best refrigeration results, it is important to follow
the rules below:
do not cover the shelves with paper, aluminium
foil or protective plastic sheeting;
arrange the food so that air can circuiate freely
around it;
cover food, particularly if it has a strong smell;
do not open the door too often;
do not put warm food in the refrigerator, leave to
cool at ambient temperature before placing
inside.
